On 3 days
● daily self-collection of a nasal swab and self-testing using rapid antigen tests for 14 days
● a brief survey to answer each day when you upload the rapid antigen test result and a longer survey when you complete the 14 days of testing
● on 3 days you will also be asked to collect a saliva swab sample (for laboratory testing)
I'm a bit baffled with the term "on 3 days" in the last bullet point. Do they mean "on the 3rd day" or "on every 3 days"? This is apparently written in Australian English.
Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

So are you saying they're not on different days? That makes no sense. Why would you test someone twice in one day?

3 times, each on a different day
Not "on the 3rd day" or "on every 3 days".

: Would it really hurt to agree with someone else's answer rather than posting a slightly reworded version of it? // I specifically said these three occasions are obviously on different days, in case some pedant started splitting hairs.

Actually, I do not agree with your answer. "On three occasions" does not obviously mean on 3 different days. // Not splitting hairs, you have to offer the right interpretation of the original text.
